Director’s Legend

Chapter 68: [Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB]

The camera flicked across the carriage lightly, and Li Xu and Feifei looked like two statues, with their mouths facing each other, both with sweet tenderness. And the others, the comedian played by Huang Bo, stood in the middle of the aisle and laughed presumptuously with his mouth open; the coffee girl was holding the coffee, bending over laughing, the coffee escaped; the business man was talking on the phone while listening to the joke, smiling Shallow; the exam reviewer takes off his headphones and concentrates on listening to jokes...

Across everyone's faces, the camera moved back to Li Xu and Feifei again. In the kissing scene, the screen suddenly went dark. A narration rose up with cast and crew subtitles.

"Lilith woke up wearing an evening dress and a cloak, and she had five playing cards in her hand...sometime today, you will hear about the attack on the HT203 train near Haijin City, which has failed... ...You and I prevented the bomb from exploding and found the suspect...If you are reading this text message, it means that the source code has exceeded the imagination of you and the doctor. You thought that only 8 minutes of the past was created, but not only that. You have already Created a new world...Wen Qian, if I am right, somewhere in the source code installation, there is a Captain Li Xu waiting for a mission. Promise me, you will help him when you do. ...Tell him that everything will get better."

The sound stops, the subtitles end, and the screen goes out completely.

Wow! Wow!

There was applause and praise. Shao Shuaijun, Wang Zhonglei, Fan Bingbing, and Liu Yifei stood up together, faced the audience behind, and bowed deeply.

"It's great, this is a wonderful science fiction film. I must admit that my generation was moved!" a reporter shouted.

"It's unbelievable. This is a film made by a Chinese. It is no worse than our Hollywood movie."

"Do you understand? I didn't understand at all, it's too confusing, this movie."

"Don't say that, Good, this is a good movie."

The discussion converged.

"Wang, Shao, we succeeded." Rob Friedman embraced fiercely, and of course he hugged the two beauties.

Fan Bingbing took a step back without moving, and Liu Yifei pulled Shao Shuaijun over.

So, the two elders hugged each other fiercely.

"Pay attention to the image, don't do this in public." Fan Bingbing laughed.

Shao Shuaijun immediately struggled out of Rob's arms and shook his suit: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not good at this."

"Understanding." Liu Yifei smiled happily.

Wang Zhonglei patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder: "A few words on stage?"

"No, I can't speak my language well, I can't speak well, I still don't lose face." Shao Shuaijun can say some occasional conversations in English, but long-form remarks will not work.

"I thought, but I don't know English."

The premiere of the film seemed to be a success. The guests and audience were sent away, and Shao Shuaijun and others checked into the hotel. In the hotel, everyone keeps refreshing their computers. The U.S. network is very developed. As long as movies are released in the U.S., there will be user reviews on several film review websites.

Shao Shuaijun is most concerned about IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and Rotten Tomatoes website. Of course, IMDB is scored by netizens, and Rotten Tomatoes is more about media scoring. At the moment when the premiere has just ended, when not many viewers see the movie, Rotten Tomatoes is the guarantee to guide the audience into the cinema.

Whether "Source Code" can succeed in the United States depends on how these film critics wrote.

"Oh, the first comment is out." Liu Yifei turned the web page and suddenly exclaimed.

"Let me see!" Shao Shuaijun clicked directly into the page.

"Fantastic young director, tells stories with science fiction, and his outstanding performance makes this movie wonderful."-USA TODAY film critic Claudia Pugle gave a 3/4 rating.

The ratings on Rotten Tomatoes are very interesting. Critics can rate freely. In other words, they can use the four-point, five-point, ten-point, or even 100-point system. As long as they pass, it is a fresh tomato. A green rotten leaf. Claudia's score is undoubtedly a pass, so a new red tomato is printed on the "Source Code" interface.

"Winning, not bad, not bad!"

Soon, the second comment came out.

"Shao Shuaijun's "Source Code" is a thoughtful science fiction film."-Jeffrey Chen of the Window of the Movie gave a 7/10 freshness.

"The concept of Chinese Shao almost eliminates the possibility of movie drama."-Perry Seibert, the film critic of TV-Guide Movie Guide, only gave 2/4 freshness, which is undoubtedly a rotten vegetable leaf.

"Super confident, know when to use the killer mace, the movie becomes more exciting."-Ed Gibbs of "The Herald Sun" also gave a freshness of 7/10, a red tomato.

"The Chinese director's incomprehensible."-"Chicago Morning Post" film critic David Creech gave 1/4 freshness, a rotten vegetable leaf.

"Perfect performance, exciting scenes, this is a rare science fiction thriller. Congratulations to China Shao, he has a firm foothold in Hollywood."-News-Blaze film critic Cam Williams gives 4 A score of /4 is another fresh tomato.

All night, Shao Shuaijun kept refreshing the page. Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei couldn't stand the sleepiness, and went back to the room to go to bed. Wang Zhonglei went to contact people from Lionsgate. The room was quiet. Lionsgate has invited a lot of film critics, but until midnight, on Rotten Tomatoes website, there were only 12 reviews, 7 passed, 5 failed, 58% of the freshness, and the good reputation Shao Shuaijun imagined. Far away

This made him frown, but some viewer ratings appeared on IMDB, and many of them scored 10 points.

"I love this "Source Code", what a cool story, I wish I could build a world too."

"Although the production seems a little shabby, but a good movie, especially the final kiss, is too romantic. Are Chinese people so romantic?"

"I like it too, but I have a question. Does the world of source code really exist or not? What does the narration of the subtitles mean?"

Seeing this, Shao Shuaijun's mouth raised. In the new version of "Source Code", Shao Shuaijun deleted the end of the original version and kissed the ending directly. Many people criticized the unreasonable ending of the source code because the ending seems to be Dzogchen, but many reasonable emperors have found theoretical loopholes.

Shao Shuaijun's approach here is to leave an open ending. Those who support that the source code is just a piece of memory naturally think that the frozen picture determines everything. Those who support the source code is a new world will associate the content of the text message, and excitedly think that the source code is a new world.

Coupled with the theoretical system that has been perfected by Chen Bin's experts, the source code is by no means pseudo-science fiction, but real hard science fiction!

""Source Code" will become a box office bomb!" Shao Shuaijun saw the audience's ratings and found his confidence back.
